Fossilization is very rare and requires certain environmental factors. If these factors are present, it's likely more than one fossil will form. That's why they are found in clumps; that is where conditions were right to create fossils for a time.

How are fossils used to oppose the theory of evolution?

Fossils are not used to oppose the theory of evolution. They acutually support it in every way. So far not one fossil has been found that is not exactly where you would expect it to be if evolution were true. As we dig deeper we go further back in time and see by piecing fossils together how organisms evolved over time. Although we don't need fossils to support the fact that evolution is happening, it's a nice bonus to have in support of the theory.

Theory stating that the sun contains a small amount of platinum using what you know about spectroscopy explain how i might prove or disprove this theory?

You could use spectroscopy to analyze the light emitted by the sun to look for the characteristic spectral lines of platinum. If you detect these specific spectral lines in the sun's spectrum, it would support the theory. Conversely, if you do not find these lines in the sun's spectrum, it would provide evidence against the theory.

What unusual theory quite logical was used to explain the lack of Mermaid remains or Fossils?

The theory had two parts" First of all they had a far longer life span than man, an estimated 300 years. Part two: at the end of this span their bodies would effervesce or literally dissolve into the ocean like foam, thus leaving no physical remains, the reaction would certainly make waves. The theory WA developed by a man who was in a sense an early science fiction writer, and it is indeed logical. the man"s name was Anderson. yes, that Anderson.
